Analysis of The color red.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The color red.

My blood flows through my veins like water running down a drain. Every cut of your flesh is just one more of many pains. So you scream and yell; it doesn't mean a thing. Your ring is tainted with your blood. But you are rolling in the mud. So you pass out with the sound of every cut. You should know you are out of luck. I can feel and see your blood drip to the floor. There is a nice puddle right next to the exit door. Everything goes black, and you never coming back.
